Should we update right away or wait? The new version I'm seeing in Mint's Update Manager says it's 5.6.1+really5.4.5-1ubuntu0.3… kinda weird, haha.

the 'really' version was the rollback to a known good version that they (ubuntu) pulled from debian as noble (mint 22's upstream) was getting ready to beta (which was delayed a week because of this).

noble has had a couple previous updates to xz-utils. looks like they're just putting security updates in. the most recent one addresses two cve. changelog
